frigate: [Support]: Error with Frigate Addon and SMB storage on OS 11.3

Describe the problem you are having

I always keep HA, the HACS integrations and HA add-ons up to date. Recently there have been Frigate updates as well as HA updates, so I am unsure what caused the problem.

I apologize in advance for the information overload 😦

The problem started with the Frigate lovelace card reporting:

{
  "request": {
    "type": "frigate/events/get",
    "instance_id": "frigate",
    "cameras": [
      "camera_1"
    ],
    "limit": 50,
    "id": 46
  },
  "response": {
    "code": "not_found",
    "message": "Unable to find Frigate instance with ID: frigate"
  }
}

Using:

• HACS Frigate version is v4.0.1
• HACS Frigate Lovelace Card v5.2.0
• HA addon: Frigate (Full Access) version 0.12.1

HA logs: 2024-01-05 13:29:45.435 ERROR (MainThread) [custom_components.frigate.api] Error fetching information from http://ccab4aaf-frigate-fa:5000/api/stats: 500, message='INTERNAL SERVER ERROR', url=URL('http://ccab4aaf-frigate-fa:5000/api/stats')

While checking everything for related problems, I saw the Frigate integration “needs attention”.

I tried configuring the integration again with these settings but it says could not connect: I tried these settings with the Frigate integration:

http://ccab4aaf-frigate-fa:5000 and 
rtsp://ccab4aaf-frigate-fa:8554

I have double-checked and the settings of the Frigate add-on correspond to these ports.

If I visit HA dashboard => Frigate I see my live camera working just fine. If I click on “events” and “recordings” I see past events and recordings and can play them BUT going to Frigate => Logs there is a problem:

This error keeps repeating every minute: BlockingIOError: [Errno 11] Resource temporarily unavailable: '/media/frigate/recordings'

Not sure what is the problem since Frigate can actually view events and recordings and play them for me.

When setting up Frigate initially I followed this guide: https://docs.frigate.video/guides/ha_network_storage/ and made Frigate use the mounted SMB share.

On the terminal the folder does exist and is accessible and Frigate can indeed access it as shown above.:

Btw. when visiting HA Dashboard => Frigate I can only access the initial page via https://mydomain.tld/ccab4aaf_frigate-fa/ingress and the birdseye, events, config and log page. The system and storage pages are resulting in server error 500.

This last bit of info might be unrelated but it looks confusing.

FFprobe output from your camera

seems unnecessary for this issue

Frigate stats

not sure how to get this

Operating system

HassOS

Install method

HassOS Addon

Coral version

Camera make and model

Hikvision but the problem is unrelated to the camera

Any other information that may be helpful

I am accessing my HA instance behind traefik as a reverse proxy in case it matters.
